A model to localize gauge and tensor fields on thick branes

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new model for localizing gauge and tensor fields on thick branes by introducing a specific function into the higher-dimensional action, inspired by analogies to scalar-electromagnetic coupling and hadron models.

Contribution

It introduces a novel method for gauge and tensor field localization on thick branes using a specially chosen function in the action, extending previous localization techniques.

Findings

Gauge bosons can be localized on thick branes using the proposed function.

The localization method is extended to the Kalb-Ramond field.

The model is based on analogies to scalar-electromagnetic coupling and hadron models.

Abstract

It is shown that the introduction of a suitable function in the higher-dimensional gauge field action may be used in order to achieve gauge bosons localization on a thick brane. The model is constructed upon analogies to the effective coupling of neutral scalar field to electromagnetic field and to the Friedberg-Lee model for hadrons. After that we move forward studying the localization of the Kalb-Ramond field via this procedure.
